“R” variants of flagship phones are becoming popular. Nubia came up with the Red Magic 6R: the first Red Magic gaming phone which does not look like a gaming phone. OnePlus released the OnePlus 9R: a more affordable variant of the 9 series but still with flagship-class specifications. If you need a true flagship but you want to save some money, these devices are very interesting options. But which one is the best and which matches your needs the most? This comparison between the specifications of the Red Magic 6R and the OnePlus 9R will help you find out.

Nubia Red Magic 6R vs OnePlus 9R

Design

A lot of people would like the OnePlus 9R more than the Red Magic 6R because it is more compact and it has a more minimalistic design. The rear camera module with the same color as the rear cover is gorgeous and the color variants too. On the other hand, the

Red Magic 6R offers a thinner design making it attractive. Just like top-notch gaming phones, it comes with pressure sensitive zones boasting a 400 Hz touch sampling rate. Both the phones have a premium design composed of a glass back and an aluminum frame, but the OnePlus 9R has the stronger Gorilla Glass 5 protection for both the rear glass and the display.

Display

On the paper, the Nubia Red Magic 6R offers a superior display. It is a 6.67-inch panel with a 10-bit color depth showing up to one billion colors, a high 144 Hz refresh rate, and a Full HD+ resolution. The OnePlus 9R has a smaller panel with a lower 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification. Naturally, both are AMOLED displays with an under-display fingerprint reader. And both are punch-hole displays with very narrow bezels and a front camera placed in the middle. The

Red Magic 6R wins the display comparison due to its higher refresh rate and one billion colors. Note that the OnePlus 9R has stereo speakers, while Nubia Red Magic 6R does not.

Specs & Software

With the Nubia Red Magic 6R and the OnePlus 9R, you can actually get the same hardware department. It is composed of a Snapdragon 888 mobile platform which is currently the most powerful Qualcomm chipset, up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Both these phones have flagship-class hardware and they are sold at affordable prices: this is one of their best advantages. The Nubia Red Magic 6R and the OnePlus 9R run Android 11 with a customized user interface on top.

Camera

The OnePlus 9R has a 48 MP rear quad camera with a 48 MP main sensor supported by OIS, a 16 MP ultrawide camera, a 5 MP macro camera, and a 2 MP monochromatic camera. The Nubia Red Magic 6R has a quad camera too, but it comes with a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, a 5 MP macro lens, and a 2 MP depth sensor. The OnePlus 9R is better because it has a brighter focal aperture and OIS, but the Nubia Red Magic 6R is able to record videos with an 8K resolution.

Battery

The OnePlus 9R has a bigger battery and it is able to last more on a single charge with its 4500 mAh capacity. Further, it features faster charging with a power of 65W. With the Nubia Red Magic 6R, you get a 4200 mAh battery that supports 55W fast charging in China and 30W fast charging in the global market.

Price

OnePlus 9R has a starting price tag of about €464/$557 in the Indian market. Unfortunately, it is not sold in the European market, where you only get the vanilla OnePlus 9 and the Pro variant. The Nubia Red Magic 6R starts from €500/$600 globally. OnePlus 9R is a superior device when it comes to camera and battery, while Nubia Red Magic 6R has a better display and useful pressure sensitive zones for gaming. Which one would you pick?

Only a letter differentiates the names of Red Magic 6R and Red  Magic 6: the latest gaming phones by Nubia. But if you look at them, you will see two completely different phones. They are both suitable for gamers and they are sold in the same price range, but which is actually the best option for your needs? We will try to answer this question through a comparison between the specifications of the Nubia Red Magic 6R and the Nubia Red Magic 6.

ZTE Nubia Red Magic 6R vs ZTE Nubia Red Magic 6

Design

Are you gaming-addicted and you would like to have a gaming-centric design? Then you should go for the Nubia Red Magic 6. But if you want a device that looks like a normal phone and features an elegant design, you should opt for the Nubia Red Magic 6R. Despite it is a great phone for gaming, the Nubia Red Magic 6R has an elegant back cover and a punch-hole display. But it still features pressure-sensitive zones with a 400 Hz touch sampling rate. So it still provides gaming-centric features, no matter if the design is different from a gaming-centric phone. With the Nubia Red Magic 6 you get pressure sensitive zones too, as well as a design with thicker bezels that might be more ergonomic. Note that Nubia Red Magic 6R has a plastic back and an aluminum frame, while Nubia Red Magic 6 is a glass sandwich with an aluminum frame.

Display

Nubia Red Magic 6 and 6R are equipped with amazing displays, especially for gamers. They have AMOLED panels with one billion colors, a Full HD+ resolution, and a very high refresh rate, as well as a fingerprint reader under the display. The winner of the display comparison is the vanilla Nubia Red Magic 6 because it provides a higher refresh rate (165 Hz) and a wider display diagonal of 6.8 inches. On the other hand, the Nubia Red Magic 6R is more compact (but still a phablet with its 6.67-inch panel), it has a punch-hole display and narrower bezels around it.

Specs & Software

Whatever you choose, you will get an amazing flagship phone in terms of hardware. Nubia Red Magic 6 and 6R are fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform which is actually the most advanced SoC by Qualcomm. In both phones, you get up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. With this hardware department, you can run any game at maximum settings without any issue. The operating system is the same (Android 11) and so is the user interface.

Camera

Talking about the rear cameras, the Nubia Red Magic 6R is a more advanced camera phone but just slightly. The difference between the two handsets is the additional 5 MP macro camera you can find on the Nubia Red Magic 6R, while the other sensors on the rear side are the same. With the Nubia Red Magic 6R, you also get a better 16 MP front camera.

Battery

Nubia Red Magic 6R is the winner of the battery comparison simply because it features a bigger 5050 mAh unit. It also provides a faster charging technology with a power of 66W. The Nubia Red Magic 6R has a 4200 mAh battery, but it is a lot thinner and lighter than the vanilla version. The Chinese version of the 6R supports 55W fast charging, while the Global version has just 30W.

Price

The Nubia Red Magic 6 has a starting price of €600/$725 in the global market, while Nubia Red Magic 6R carries a starting price tag of €500/$605. Given that there is just a €100 difference, we recommend the Nubia Red Magic 6 due to its bigger battery and faster charging (it also comes with a built-in cooling fan and a higher refresh rate), unless you prefer having a more sober design.
